WASHINGTON REPORT FOR 11/6/17

CALL TO ACTION

Special Call to Action:

Please call your two U.S. Senators and your U.S. representative through the Capitol operator at 202.224.3121 and ask each of them to support two amendments to the tax reform bill — one that would fully repeal the individual mandate, and a second that would be Rep. Kings New IDEA bill.

With tax reform being debated on Capitol Hill, there are two key proposals being discussed. The first would repeal ObamaCare’s insidious individual mandate — the requirement that every American citizen must carry a government-approved health insurance policy. This punitive tax is one of the worst aspects of ObamaCare, and a simple amendment to the tax reform bill could repeal the individual mandate — once and for all.

The second proposal is a bill that Congressman Steve King wrote called the “New IDEA” bill. Congressman King’s bill, which could be added as an amendment to the tax reform bill, prevents businesses from deducting wages and benefits paid to illegal immigrants. Want to get serious about cracking down on our nation’s illegal immigration problem? This is a great way to do it.

TALKING POINTS ON TAX REFORM

The U.S. tax code is a complicated mess and a drain on the economy.

Americans waste time and money preparing their taxes each year because our tax code is so complicated.

Tax reform in our country is long overdue.

Americans want a tax code that is flatter, with fewer brackets.

Americans want a tax code that is simpler, with less need to employ accountants and tax attorneys to navigate the code.

Our current tax system slows economic growth, and reduces opportunity and wages for all Americans.

President Trump campaigned on pro-growth tax reform, and the American people stand behind him on that goal.

Americans are ready for tax reform that moves our nation forward.

The proposed tax reform will make the United States a better place to invest and do business.

The House GOP’s tax bill addresses many of the most serious problems plaguing our tax code, including excessively high tax rates for corporations and incentives for businesses to move abroad.

The House GOP’s tax bill has much-needed simplifications, including eliminating the SALT (state and local tax) deductions for sales and income taxes.
